“…A primary cause for enhancing the frequency, duration and intensity of ExT is anticipated to the global warming, as a response to anthropogenic climate forcing (Baldwin et al, 2019;IPCC, 2021IPCC, , 2014Krishnan et al, 2020). The physical mechanism involved in the formation of such ExT is linked to large-scale atmospheric dynamics as well as regional-scale land-atmosphere interactions (De and Mukhopadhyay, 1998;Ganeshi et al, 2020;Ghatak et al, 2017;Joshi et al, 2020;Ratnam et al, 2016). The atmospherically driven phenomenon such as quasi-stationary Rossby wave-train and El Niño Southern Oscillation originated from the North-Atlantic Ocean and tropical Pacific, respectively, in-turn maintains the warm and dry air thermodynamically at the surface, through the high-pressure system.…”
